Wondering if anyone is using front wagoneer springs and would like to post some pics,specs,opinions
I want to run front waggy springs all around on a yj seems like a nice cheap alternative to a lift kit, plus im not looking for tons of lift and i like how it lifts the jeep as well as extends the wheel base

Full size Wagoneer springs are about 57" long. They have a 26 - 31 split.
YJ or CJ are 44" long, and the spring bolt centered 22 - 22.

You'll gain some length with them on the wheel base.
Longer springs are always good for better flex and ride. However, if you've anything limiting flex now, it will still limit flex with the Waggy springs. Check out the thread "How to get the most Leaf spring flex"

My view is longer leafs are better, and the junk yard provides plenty to try different custom configurations. Leaf springs are a wear item in this sport.

Running Stockish front waggy springs in the front, bastard built spring pak to get my ride height. Its SOA, about 5" lift overall, with 12" travel shocks. I guess I could go 14" if I redid the lower shock mount at the axle. But I had limited room to work with since I installed a HP60 from a 89 F350(shorter driver side tube) This also shifted the front axle forward 3.1 inches gain in WB. Used stock OEM steering box with stock waggy Pitman.(no drop) I do have a short thread on here somewhere in non-hardcore. Just got to go dig it up out of the dirt somewhere.

Stock front Waggy flipped with an added spring. I took the main spring of the rear pack to build the military wrap. I mounted the spring hangers on the bottom of the frame for a little added height, I also have a 1 inch body lift.

Cases like yours are the only time I ever suggest a longer shackle, but you need it.

I think 35 should fit clean with no body lift. Keep in mind that the spring hangers on the YJ are in the frame and the ones on my TJ are on the bottom, you will lose a little height. Look at this, he is YJ SUA with waggys.
